“I fell inside my building on interior stairs while I was walking to my apartment. There was nothing on the stairs, but the building is old and the steps are quite worn. Do I have a case?”
You might have a case, depending upon how worn are the steps and and if that wear created a hazzardous condition on which to walk. This is the type of defect of which our office would make a personal inspection and possibly hire an expert to examine the steps and take measurements.
Even though you may have walked up these stairs many hundreds or thousands of times, if the stairs are in such a condition so as to create a hazardous condition, then your landlord would be responsible for maintaining the stairs in a safe and passable condition. Whatever your injuries are, we advise all of clients to go to the doctor and follow your trusted physician’s instructions so you can recover from your injuries.
